Public Sub New (consistencyGuarantee As Consistency, cer As Cer)

Parameters

consistencyGuarantee
Consistency

One of the Consistency values.

cer
Cer

One of the Cer values.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of the ReliabilityContractAttribute constructor to create a constrained execution region and a finally block that is guaranteed to execute.

using System;
using System.Threading;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using System.Runtime.ConstrainedExecution;

// Demonstrate CERs using abrupt thread aborts. Demonstrate there
// is always a finally invocation for any CER that is entered.
class AbruptThreadAbort
{
    public static int Main(String[] args)
    {
        // Run the test a few times--it is timing dependent. The argument 
        // passed in is the stack depth to create.
        for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
            if (!Test(i % 5))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Failed");
                return 0;
            }

        Console.WriteLine("Succeeded");
        return 100;
    }

    // Create a thread and tell it to create a stack of the required depth. 
    // The first 3 levels will contain CERs, those after will not. Wait for 
    // the thread to start up, but abort it immediately. The thread may be 
    // in the process of setting the stack up at the point the abort occurs.
    // Check a state variable after the thread exits to determine if there is 
    // a consistent state following the abort. Each level of the stack with a
    // CER maintains a consistency variable that is reset on entry to the try 
    // and set in the corresponding finally block. None of these variables 
    // should be in a reset state after aborting the thread.
    static bool Test(int d)
    {
        // Create the context for the thread. This sets the stack depth for 
        // the thread and gives the final consistency state after the abort.
        WorkUnit wu = new WorkUnit(d);

        // Create and start the thread.
        Thread t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(wu.StackDepth1));
        t.Start();

        // Wait until the thread is ready to begin.
        wu.wait.WaitOne();

        // Abort immediately. This will occassionally interrupt the thread 
        // as it is setting up the stack, which is good.
        t.Abort();
